  • Looking for salvation, I'm blind.
    Thought contamination, I find.
    Greedy spiders talk to me in my head.
    I think I'm drifting.

    I'm in the big machine. My next hero's calling.
    Who knows what he may bring to me?

    Government intrusion, again.
    Cultural illusion, offends.
    Grain of sand in traffic jam, and I'm late.
    I think I'm drifting.

    I'm in the big machine. My next hero's calling.
    Who knows what she may bring to me?

    See the demons all around and sometimes
    I feel like one of them. Feel the rage is building inside,
    I walk to the final edge, I'm dreaming...

    I'm in the big machine. My next hero's calling.
    Who knows what he may bring to me? Writer/s: BOLA SETE, CURTIS WILSON, DJALMA DE ANDRADE, KATHERINE SHOREY, LIA GRANT, SANDY PLUTO, WILL SMITH

  • Metal Barbie from MichiganIs it just me or is it ironic (pardon the pun) that this sounds exactly like "You Learn" by Alanis Morissette? I've looked online and feel like I'm the first one to recognize this. So, again, is it just me or is it just 'ironic'? Dying to know what feedback anyone has.
